These words and phrases that are selected by search engines as the exact words and phrases used on your website. Therefore, content is king in the complex game of SEO. Evaluate your company website’s content and gain higher rankings with these four tips:

Be relevant—Staying up to date with content is so important to gain visitors. Search engines view vitality as a factor in rankings. To stay in high in the ranks, create a news feed or blog to consistently create new content. Plus, new articles can be promoted via social media.

Focus on one mission with a clear message, make sure your website truly reflects the company, and stay away from industry jargon your audience may not understand.
